The Flower Challenge #105 Reminder - ADD EMBELLISHMENTS

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that there's still time to play along with us at The Flower Challenge where we're looking for you to add EMBELLISHMENTS to your FLORAL cards.

I used a very similar layout and color scheme for this reminder card as my first card that you can find HERE.  Let's take a look...

 
I started with a cream colored card base again, and then added a pink layer die cut with The Greetery's Deco Frames die, and then added the Sweetest Frame stamped on cream cs and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I used The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Hollyhocks dies to create my florals with scraps of pink and green cs. The flowers are multi layered and I did do a bit of ink blending to the pieces to get the layered look to show up better.  I also added glitter along the edges of the petals and PFS's Gems: Clear with Gold Dust to the flower centers. 


Here's another closer up where I was hoping you could see the embellishments a bit better, but the light was not being my friend the day I photographed this card.  Trust me that IRL that this card sparkles and shines with the added glitter and gems. 

The DT has some lovely examples of adding embellishments that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along with us.  This challenge is open till Monday, Aug. 25th @ 9:00AM.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    Your hollyhocks are just lovely Marica and I like the way you've framed them! That little bit of gold adds a wonderful elegance!

    This is so lovely. Your hollyhocks are beautiful and I can imagine all the sparkle. Your framing with the metallic gold edging really shows the glitter effect. Beautiful card Marcia! xx

    This is so pretty in pink! I adore the soft pastel frame, especially with the glittery gold accent. It frames those hollyhocks beautifully. Such a pretty, feminine card.

    Oh, those sweet hollyhocks and pretty pink frame, sigh. Demure, delicate, and wonderfully deco. I can see the sparkle and I know it must be even more sparkly IRL. We're all in the same boat when it comes to trying to capture that glitter and gleam. Sometimes we get lucky. What a beautiful card, Marcia!
